Yeah, it’s still wrong. 

Resource packages in HTML seem okay for the image gallery use case (and then could be done with ‘link’), but they’re commonly inappropriate for anything referenced from ‘link’, ‘script’ and ‘style’ elements. Your remark on loading order just proves this point: you want resource packages referenced before ‘head’. You should move one step further than the root element, i.e. to the transport layer.
